minerve - Centrepiece - Silver - silver sugar bowl

This silver sugar bowl with a blue cobalt glass lining dates from the mid-19th century, around the 1840s, and is of French origin. It features decorative motifs typical of French Rococo style, with floral ornaments, scrolls, and the curved cabriole feet characteristic of that period.
